Ultimately the goal was called back due to this description.
The only problem though is that the rule doesn't appear to be written to allow for video interpretation. The rule is written to describe only on ice official's discretion.
The wording clearly states "in the opinion of the on-ice officials", so multiple questions have arisen as to how the review team could possibly reverse this.
It will be interesting to see if the league issues a statement on this play.
